First earthquake?

There seems to have been a 6.5 magnitude earthquake last night at about 3:30 AM (this morning? - a horse a piece really). Its epicenter was about 53 miles north-east of Rome, so there was no damage in Rome, even though many people were awakened by the tremors, including myself.

It was much stronger of course at its epicenter, a town called L'Aquila. There are many injuries and even some deaths. Please keep these peolpe in your prayers.
